Hey everyone, my dad has been on here for awhile, but I just signed up, and am a proud new Valkyrie rider! I was driving a Suzuki Intruder 1400, but I am getting married next year and I wanted to get something with a bigger frame so we could do more doubles ridding, and so I could go on longer riders without getting a sore ass! Here's a pic of the new beast from the far east.  |

It ain't a "beast from the far east".
Valks are "American made"
You're excused this time cause your a newbie.

Thanks for all the compliments and welcomes! I love the hardkrome pipes too, they look and sound great. And for the record, for a kid living in northern Wisconsin the old Honda plant in Marysville Ohio is the far east.

Welcome Rosie2. Don't know why everyone wants to think you are a girl?  Guess they did not look at your profile, or read your Dad's post, where he calls you "Son". No matter! They all mean well, and are a bunch of great guys generally. Like everything else, we Valk riders come in all sizes and flavors - some sour or bitter. Great looking ride. Always good to see young blood join in! |

Cool looking bike, if you ever get to southern WI from up North,, give me a jingle, would love to see the bike and those cool looking pipes and the sound they make. Only thing I would consider adding on the not so expensive side is chrome stick on swing arm covers to compliment the chrome side panels to match along with a luggage rack behind the passenger backrest to hold more stuff. Nice find and nice paint job as well - one of a kind!

uhhh guys. Look at the profile pic. Sort of a manly looking girl there.
Welcome.
and I think you would be much, much happier with my cobras on your bike. Since you are new, I will be really nice and offer to trade even steven. Might even pay for shipping since I'm a nice guy.

cookiedough, I get down to the southern part of the state alot, I go to school at Carroll U in Waukesha, and I go to Illinois almost every other week to see my girl. I'd be glad to stop by sometime. The pipes do have a very distinct sound, very different from any other Valk I've heard.
